Deep-Fried Pickles
Description
Deep-fried pickles will be the highlight of your table, as you don't often see such a dish in the kitchen! I recommend using pickled cucumbers specifically, as they are what give the dish its flavor and aroma. You can first dip the cucumbers in breadcrumbs and then in batter, but note that the appearance of the dish will be different. Before cooking, be sure to pat the cucumbers dry with a paper towel so that excess liquid doesn't interfere during frying. Serve the appetizer to the table.
